Sean Baker wins four Oscars for 'Anora', the Breaking Record

Sean Baker has his micro-bangs on his forehead for the first time this season and got to work. In fact, he won the most Oscars at the Oscars 2025 that each person won in one night. It is the type of winning streak that is only possible if you are this kind of insane indie multi-hyphenat. Baker won the best original script, the best editing, the best director and the best picture for his film AnoraWith the record amount of Oscars, which was won by one person in a single night for the same film, with four. Then Anora The best actress for Mikey Madison also won, which is technically not a bakery win, but still feels like one. Not bad for a man who had never been nominated. In his first speech, he thanked for the best original script “The Sex Worker Community” and found that “they shared their stories, they have shared their life experience with me over the years.” Then, when he won the editing, he said: “I consider the editing as half of my director and a third of my script.”

When he accepted the best director, he took a moment to roam the cinemas. “Seeing a film in the theater with an audience is an experience,” he said. “We laugh together, cry together, scream with fear, may sit together in silence and at a time when the world feels very divided, this is more important than ever.”

When he won the best picture, Baker seemed to discuss everything and just came to make a short note. “I would like to thank the academy for having recognized a really independent film,” he said. “This was done on blood, sweat and tears of incredible indie artists. Lang live independent film. “
